(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) On the tenth anniversary of Andrew Breitbart’s passing, conservative leaders across America gave an extended tribute to the deceased journalist, Breitbart reported.
Among those who appeared in the video are Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, Fox News host Tucker Carlson, former President Donald Trump, and over 50 others.
The Breitbart story included a written tribute describing the video and highlighting Breitbart’s contributions to the conservative movement:
Ten years ago, today, we lost a giant: Andrew Breitbart… We could talk about how many people he influenced in the conservative movement and how he taught those people how to enjoy the fight and how to fight to win—how to “walk toward the fire” as he would always say. Andrew was about something bigger than himself. He was about the movement as a whole.
Other conservative icons took to Twitter to write tributes.
James O’Keefe, the founder of Project Veritas, wrote a message describing how Andrew Breitbart inspired him.

10 years ago this morning I found out one of my mentors Andrew Breitbart died. He used to tell me, “People are going to say whatever and try to claim whatever to try and take us out. They have an irrational fear of us. They want us on a leash…” pic.twitter.com/lJ44aeeSpp— 🄴🄻ϻ🄴🅁 🄵µ🄳🄳 ⚡️🦅⚡️ (@Elmr_Fudd_again) March 1, 2022
